FOR ALL THE RIGHT REASONS

When Co-founders Steven Barshov and Dave Glassman came up with this idea, they just might have hit it out of the ballpark.  Mobile AeroFest is a multifaceted annual festival to take place at the Mobile Aeroplex on March 20 – 21, 2015.  The Festival’s mission is to actively improve the lives of America’s injured warriors thanks to a confluence of talent, vision and technology that has never been seen before in the production of a live event.  Additional AeroFest partners include Lakeshore Foundation, ClearGive, DigiPro Media and Arts Alive.

A music festival (with a great lineup) alongside great art and food installments is a common equation; but Mobile AeroFest will have a groundbreaking NEW twist: a MMA title fight arena in which multiple fights will take place.  A concept like this has yet to be seen on the music festival circuit and we are glad it is going to start here in our Port City of Mobile, AL.  This festival has so many great aspects to it, please visit www.mobileaerofest.com for all the up to date information.

Taken straight from the website mobileaerofest.com here is an excerpt of what to expect:

“We are thrilled to announce the first slate of musical acts that will be featured at the Inaugural AeroFest this March 20^th and 21^st—this great array of talent will draw festival goers from around the nation and entertain our most special guests- our injured service members,” said Dave Glassman, AeroFest Founder. “Combined with the spectrum of athletic, career development, culinary and art events taking place at AeroFest these musicians will help us make history at the Mobile Aeroplex this Spring.”

Mobile AeroFest today also joined with Titan FC in announcing 14 MMA bouts, including 4 Title bouts, (4^th bout TBD) to take place at the Mobile Aeroplex. The fights will be nationally televised on CBS SPORTS to 93 million homes and will be the first nationally televised MMA event in Alabama since the formation of the
Alabama Athletic Commission.

Unprecedented! Four sanctioned MMA title fights on the same card.

The championship fight card includes:

Lightweights: Pat Healy (30-20) vs. Kurt Kinser (8-1)

Heavyweights: John Madsen (8-1) vs. Chase Gormley (11-4)

Featherweights: Desmond Green (14-3) vs. Kurt Holobaugh (13-2)

Bantamweights: Walel Watson (13-7) vs. Brett Johns (10-0)

“Mobile AeroFest is a very special event that will be bringing the Gulf Coast Community together for our nation’s veterans— as such we wanted to put forth our most compelling fight card Titan to date,” said Titan FC COO, Lex McMahon. “The Gulf Coast is MMA Country—and we are confident that the AeroFest Title Fights will have a full house.”
